Worried that the music of Dan Zanes is too wussified for your kids? Good news! "Is a sweet child o' yours trying your patience at bedtime? Do you have an appetite for noise reduction? Don't you cry tonight. Fire up these gentle renditions of GNR's metal classics to rock your little devil to a peaceful sleep. Welcome to the nursery, baby. It's paradise city." Indeed. Sound samples here.

Can we get Tom of Underparenting fame to do a test run on his kids?
Seconded. And to make it even more GNR-like, he should put Jack in the sippy cups.
At first, I thought you were telling us Tom's kid is named Jack. http://thesippycups.com/
Oops. Nope, JD. Although putting a baby in a band is quite a good underparenting story...
Totally for Park Slope's Mr. and Mrs. Brownstone.
What's with the bullfrog sound effects? Can't believe I never noticed that in the original.
Dreadful.
Anything with xylophones will make you fall asleep. That's why it was so hard to make whoopee in college listening to the Violent Femmes.
Also, listening to a song called 'Ugly' while doing it may be counter intuitive.
Calling it "making whoopee" probably made it hard to get laid in college too.
I can't decide whether this is kind of awesome or the most disturbing thing ever.
Awful. http://store.musictogether.com/product271.html and http://www.amazon.com/Kids-Various-Artists/dp/B00006L7QX are 100% better.
Well. But those are practically lullabies in the original.
Yeah, you're right. If we're talking about well-made and punnily-described covers of "adult" songs "for kids," WHICH WE ARE, then I have nothing helpful to contribute. But this disc hypnotizes me every time I put my niece to sleep: http://www.showclix.com/shows_listing3.php?event=4240#
Ha! WHOOPS. That's what I'm doing Saturday night.
Here's what I meant to paste in thar: http://www.amazon.com/African-Lullaby-Various-Artists/dp/B00000JCRJ
Does Enigma qualify?
(Holy crap, they're still around!)
Stewart Copeland is not amused.
